This readme file shows how to replicate the results for INEQUALITY AND REDISTRIBUTION: EVIDENCE FROM U.S. COUNTIES AND STATES, 1890–1930 Restat 
vol 92, Issue 4, November 2010.

1. All data are labelled by Tables. 


2. In Table 12--the state leve data--the data are ogranized by variable name.

3. The corresponding do files that generate the code should be self explanatory  

4. Tables 2 4 and 5 are condensed in one do file.

5. Stata ver 11.2 (Mac OS X Version 10.6.7) used to run the data analysis. 


Below is a census of the data:

1. All do files are labeled according to the tables in the paper.
2. At the county level, they call upon "1930_table.raw", for 1930
   and 1920_tables.raw" for 1920.
3. State analysis are prefixed by either Table12*.raw or Table 13*.raw
